what do you see like: 2012

ty! from a good roll of repackaged-sensia slide film, something i don't think i can get anymore

are they scans of prints?

yeah, i've never got around to negative scanning, it explains the jaunty angles. how come?

I usually stick w superia 400 and overexpose by a stop. Smooth grain, good detail. It *can* suffer from green/magenta issues, but home scanning fixes that for me. Labs will vary.
Probably 70% of my color photos are superia. The equivalent cheap Kodak shows much more grain.

All abou the cheap films by the way. Kodak and Fuji consumer stuff can all be found for about $3/roll.

belated TY for this, btw. i've started buying & using superia 400, you're right, it's nice/a good all rounder, &c, & i can get it cheaply.

I was asking because of the angled photos, but also because the shadow behind them seemed so precise that it almost looked like an effect or filter!
I really stand by my superia love. people knock it for its greens and magentas, but with scanning and printing there are ways around that. And it really is smooooth grained!

I feel like I'm getting dangerously close to just posting every picture of mine as they come up now, but again, I like these two:

I went to lengths to get this shot. Even on a crappy day, Chicago can be gorgeous.

yeah the cross-processed colours are really full on; it kinda wiped out a couple of shots by just turning them into migraine-tests. but they are as-is; they're on the right side of colourful w/o being too holga i think.

yes. i actually really like grain a lot, probably more with bw but sometimes with colour, too, when it's bright, when the colours are strong. the white skin tones thing has probably been a slight thing with some outdoor shots, but it's nice & holds up pretty well in electric light indoors, too. it's satisfying to have a regular thing to reflexively go for, anyway, since my hook up for various expired film lapsed i've been stuck buying expensive but interesting films, it can be a little much.

also a lot of nice greys in the above run of shots

Vienna = lotsa pics of statues.

I like that top one.
Also I always misread your name as "Portra for Pyros" on this board.

ah, one more...

xpost - what is a Portra?!

love the green one! what's going on in the statue?

google search... ah - film! ha ha!

Portra is Kodak's pro negative film

it would appear to be a woman being menaced by a man with a club.

a common theme in Vienna's statues.

I've never been to Vienna. Sounds lovely.

ah that b&w one is lovely too.

one w/ the bushes ftw

Hello, been lurking in the forum for a wee while. Was looking at this thread yet again (some lovely images in here) and felt motivated to spend the evening re-scanning some recent negatives. Here's a couple I'm happy with. Thanks.

welcome... it's a shame that there should be lurkers on ILP! and, great photos! aaaand, looking at your photostream, congrats on a pleasant evening of scanning.
I'm in scanning heaven right now, a few drinks in with this: http://mnmlssg.blogspot.com/2010/11/ssg-special-high-rise-living-78-86-part.html playing. I recommend for any scanning session.

new ilp thread 'scanjams'

Thanks. I've been reading (but rarely posting on) ILM for years, only spotted the photography and football forums recently.

football football or soccer football?

Soccer football, the real one...!

pshhh

Love that sky and what you've with it.

At 5:55 this morning I was lay on a very damp ground

This is just an iPhone snapshot, but I like it and I was very happy at unexpectedly finding this still life on the street.

shameless plug, but the cover for my next zine is actually from a roll i got back from the lab last nite so it counts :D

Love Cozen's over-saturated, over-contrasty sunset. And I don't mean that as a back-handed compliment -- it really works well.

that's great, grady, how is it coming along? I'm planning on getting something printed soon & am still figuring out the whole DIY vs pro-printing thing

it's all layed out, just waiting on my kickstarter so I can have the thank-you page finished.

will spam here when it gets approved.

Favorite shot from a wedding at an old mill outside Poughkeepsie last weekend. Having second thoughts about crop/composition but I shoot mainly for texture and color I think. Full set here.

Fave recent upthread things probably not_goodwin's damp ground bokeh field, and michellambert's offshore platform - where are those shots from?

awesome set, Dr. Casino. feels like you really captured a mood there.

^

aww, thanks y'all! They picked an amazing setting for the wedding, the mood was all there in the space.

Also instead of wedding cake they had your choice of key lime, blueberry, or pecan pie and coffee. <3

looks like a wonderful day.

gr8080, that zine looks good, will try and remember to chip in when I get paid next week - will you post to the UK?

This is from a local gig last Friday, think I've just about managed to cope with the red light:
